Good morning everyone! I am sorry for a lack of blogging this week. To say that I have been busy lately would be an understatement. And very little of the busy-ness was related to baseball or blogging. So my hope is to get back into a routine the next couple of days. I do apologize. It isn’t fair the life, and well, earning a living have to occasionally take priority.So please bear with me. I made a six-plus hour drive home and got home fairly late, so today’s blog posting will again be fairly brief. There will be another SethSpeaks.net Minnesota Twins Live Chat tonight at 8:00 central time, so be sure to check back later for more details.

·Several people have asked me this spring if I knew where Lew Ford was, if he was returning to Japan for the 2009 season, or if he had signed with another big league organization. I received word yesterday that Lew Ford just signed a minor league contract with the Colorado Rockies.

·If you check out the BaseballDigest.com Twins web page, you can read an article from all four Twins bloggers. There will be a new article each day. And yes, I will be sure to get an article of my own posted in the next couple of days.

·I would also encourage you to read another BaseballDigest.com article, this one by a White Sox writer named Chris Pennant. The article (What Good) points out an additional benefit of the Twins signing of Joe Crede. It just keeps the pattern going!

·Now that he is done with his Top 50 Twins Prospects list, Josh’s Thoughts is now looking at his Top 50 Minor League Prospects in baseball.

·Pat Neshek has continued to update his blog daily, and he has included some very interesting things. He shared pictures of his arm after surgery, talked a little about the surgery, talked about the WBC, and more. I found it most interesting the Neshek does something that I do from time to time. He goes to YouTube and checks out videos of songs from when he is younger. He mentioned Warren G, and I listen to Regulator (Mount Up) pretty frequently, Positive K, 2 Short, Vanilla Ice, but also American Idol alums like Ruben Studdard and Blake Lewis.

·Finally, as I mentioned on Monday, we are planning a Blogger get-together this Saturday, March 7, at Buffalo Wild Wings in Roseville. I know that Nick Nelson and myself will be there, and several other Twins bloggers will be as well. It will be at about 1:00 p.m. central time as that is when the WBC Matchup between the United States and Canada will start. Although Joe Nathan is now out of the tournament, it will be a chance to see Justin Morneau, Jesse Crain and even Corey Koskie. And, it’ll be a chance to talk baseball with a bunch of fans. Oh, and if anyone would like to buy a book, I will bring some there.

Like I said, I hope to return to a more normal schedule in the next day or so. Have a good day. Please feel free to Send me an e-mail, or leave your questions or discussion points in the Comments here.
